    Bingo.

    The definition of casuals is that they don't care or know about this sort of thing.

    It looks like that might have been premature.

    And there is no way the NASL is joining NISA. Maybe some teams will do that but definitely not all of them.

    NASL probably to add second team in Puerto Rico, a team in Guam and Hawaii to shorten travel commitments for other teams.

    • While the Ottawa Fury are committed to return to USL in 2018, USL President Jake Edwards said that the team’s membership in the North American Division-2 circuit is on a year-to-year basis.
    • the Fury don’t have long-term obligations to USL which would potentially block it from moving to the Canadian Premier League down the road — if that’s the path that the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group want to take.
    • “We feel Canada needs its own professional league,” he said.
    • In a conference call with media on Friday, Edwards said that Canadian teams in cross-border leagues are only sanctioned by the Canadian Soccer League on an annual basis.
    Safe to say that the Ottawa Fury will leave USL once the Canadian Premier League starts

    As they should. Having two stable and already successful teams in the league will be extremely helpful for the long term stability for the CPL.

    Certainly you're not talking about Edmonton. All Edmonton has proven over the last decade is that Fath has a bunch of money and hasn't tired of burning through it.

    I thought it was 1.3 million. Either way, not a real good look for Rochester. It sounds like they are on their way out either in two weeks or in the following years.

    Speculating a move since NASL dead. Best move for them, my opinion.

    Vancouver Whitecaps 2 is apparently out although they have not officially announced it. Ottawa has not announced what they are doing. The CPL may start in 2018 but it may not. Rochester? I haven't seen that announced. If you are just going by rumors then Pittsburgh is in trouble.

    North Carolina moving over from NASL seems like a done deal but not official. There are rumors of a USSF/NASL deal so Indy might not be going anywhere yet. Jacksonville might also move depending on what happens with the NASL. San Diego (NASL) is also a possibility.

    I think you have all the official expansion teams although the order is confusing and "Tacoma" isn't a new team.

    2018
    Fresno
    Las Vegas
    Nashville
    Atlanta 2

    2019
    Austin (may be affected by the Crew move, if it happens)
    Memphis
    Birmingham
